Why is glass brittle

Chemistry
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
6 0
Glass doesn't contain planes of atoms that can slip past each other, so there is no way to relieve stress. It has many microscopic cracks that act as seeds for fracture. It’s molecular structure is composed of tetrahedral crystals so it ruptured easily under stress

Electronegativities of the elements Na, Al, P, and Cl follow a specific trend across the period. Based on this trend, an electro
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Electronegativity increases across the period on a periodic table.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electron to itself.

All elements on the periodic table combines in order to have a complete octet i.e they all want to be like the noble gases, group 0 elements.

This is what drives most atom to combine chemically. By so doing, they either lose or gain electrons.

Cl belongs to the 7th group on the periodic table. It is the second element in this halogen group. Most halogens are notable for their high electronegativity. They have 7 electrons in their outermost shell and would require just an electron to complete their octet.

This makes them highly reactive and combine readily with other elements.

The halogens have a strong attraction for valence electrons. The higher the electronegativity value, the stronger the attraction an atom has for valence electrons.

Most metals like Al and Na are electropositive and readily donates or lose electrons so as to have a complete octet.

Explane factor affecting stability of alkene?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Alkenes have substituents, hydrogen atoms attached to the carbons in the double bonds. The more substituents the alkenes have, the more stable they are. Thus, a tetra substituted alkene is more stable than a tri-substituted alkene, which is more stable than a di-substituted alkene or an unsubstituted one.

Which feature of four different marine fossils makes the fossil organism most similar to the present-day organism with four limb
zvonat [6]
I found the rest of the exercise on the internet and these are the options.
"-Undifferentiated vertebrae throughout the body.
-One neck vertebra allowing up and down movement.
-Many neck vertebrae that allow for greater mobility.
<span>-Two neck vertebrae allowing up and down and sideways movement."

The correct answer would be the third. - "</span>Many neck vertebrae that allow for greater mobility." The <span>present-day organism with four limbs has a neck with several vertebrae that allow movements of rotation (mostly because of only two vertebrae at the top of the neck), and side way movements, as well as back and forth movements.</span>

Alexxandr [17]
This is a decomposition reaction, where ammonium nitrate is heated and decomposed to gaseous water and dinitrogen oxide.
Formulas for reactants and products with states are as follows;
ammonium nitrate - NH₄NO₃ (s)
water - H₂O (g)
dinitrogen oxide - N₂O (g)
balanced reactions when the masses of both sides of the equation must be balanced 

Balanced chemical equation 
NH₄NO₃(s) ---> 2H₂O(g) + N₂O(g)

A student needs to prepare 100. mL of 0.612 M Cu(NO3)2 solution. What mass, in grams, of copper(II) nitrate should the student u
Temka [501]

Answer: 11.5 grams

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

Morality = 0.612 M

n= moles of solute  

V_s = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

0.612=\frac{n\times 1000}{100ml}

n=0.0612moles

Mass={\text {moles of solute }}{\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.0612moles\times 187.56g/mol=11.5g

Therefore, the mass of copper (II)nitrate required is 11.5 grams
